DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] In order to make objects, technical details and advantages
of the embodiments of the present disclosure apparent, the
technical solutions of the embodiment will be described in a
clearly and fully understandable way in connection with the
drawings related to the embodiments of the present disclosure. It
is obvious that the described embodiments are just a part but not
all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the
described embodiments herein, those skilled in the art can obtain
other embodiment(s), without any inventive work, which should be
within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0027] As illustrated in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present
disclosure provides a wearable projection equipment comprising a
first structure body 1 and a second structure body 2 which are
movably connected to each other and can rotate relative to each
other; and a projection device 3 is respectively provided on the
first structure body 1 and the second structure body 2.
[0028] For example, when both the first structure body 1 and the
second structure body 2 are ring-shaped bodies, the two ring-shaped
bodies have approximately the same central axis, so that the first
structure body 1 and second structure body 2 can rotate relative to
each other around the above central axis. The above wearable
projection equipment can be a projection ring which can be applied
to a variety of application scenarios. For example, as illustrated
in FIGS. 1 and 2, the projection ring is worn on a finger, and the
first structure body 1 and the second structure body 2 are rotated,
so as to make one projection device 3 towards the palm of the
wearer and another projection device 3 towards a wall or a desktop
located in the direction of the back of the hand of the wearer. The
two projection devices 3 can project the same or different images,
for example, the image projected on the palm of the wearer is a
annotated slide to facilitate the wearer to explain; whereas the
image projected on the wall is a non-annotated slide whose content
are more intuitive and easy for other people to watch.
Alternatively, the two projection devices on the first structure
body and the second structure body can be adjusted to the same
direction, wherein one of the projection devices projects the image
towards the desktop and the other of the projection devices
projects the image towards the wall.
[0029] The wearable projection equipment according to embodiments
of the present disclosure is capable of projecting images in
different directions by providing the projection device
respectively on the two structures body rotatable relative to each
other, such that application scenarios of the wearable projection
equipment become more extensive, thereby making it more convenient
to use.
[0030] For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the first structure
body is a first ring-shaped body 4, and the second structure body
is a second ring-shaped body 5.
[0031] For example, the wearable projection equipment is a
projection ring.
[0032] For example, an end opening of the first ring-shaped body 4
and an end opening of the second ring-shaped body 5 are connected
to each other in a telescope manner.
[0033] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure,
tooth-shaped structures meshing with each other are respectively
provided at the two end openings where the first ring-shaped body 4
and the second ring-shaped body 5 are connected to each other. As
an example, as depicted in FIG. 3, a tooth-shaped structure 41 is
provided at the lower end of the first ring-shaped body 4, and a
tooth-shaped structure 51 is provided at the upper end of the
second ring-shaped body 5. After the adjustment of the relative
position relationship between the first ring-shaped body 4 and the
second ring-shaped body 5 is completed, tooth-shaped structures
meshing with each other can ensure that the first ring-shaped body
4 and the second ring-shaped body 5 no longer rotate, so as to
improve the stability of the projection.
[0034] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an
electrode is provided at the tooth tip of the tooth-shaped
structure of the first ring-shaped body 4, and an electrode is
provided at the tooth root of the tooth-shaped structure of the
second ring-shaped body 5. No matter how to rotate the first
ring-shaped body 4 and the second ring-shaped body 5, in the
stationary state after the completion of the rotation, the tooth
tip of the tooth-shaped structure of the first ring-shaped body 4
and the tooth root of the tooth-shaped structure of the second
ring-shaped body 5 always have the same corresponding position
relationship, therefore this can ensure different contacts on the
two electrodes correspond to each other properly, so as to achieve
the electrical connection between electronic components in the
first ring-shaped body 4 and electronic components in the second
ring-shaped body 5.
[0035] FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of the
first ring-shaped body 4 and the second ring-shaped body 5. It is
illustrated in FIG. 4 that the electrode 411 is provided at the
tooth tip of the tooth-shaped structure 41 of the first ring-shaped
body 4, and the electrode 511 is provided at the tooth root of the
tooth-shaped structure 51 of the second ring-shaped body 5. In the
case that the tooth-shaped structure of the first ring-shaped body
4 and the tooth-shaped structure of the second ring-shaped body 5
is meshed with each other, the electrode 411 provided at the tooth
tip of the tooth-shaped structure of the first ring-shaped body 4
and the electrode 511 provided at the tooth root of the
tooth-shaped structure of the second ring-shaped body 5 can be
electrically connected to each other.
[0036] For example, the projection devices of the first ring-shaped
body and the second ring-shaped body can be simultaneously powered
through the two electrodes by a battery; or the first ring-shaped
body 4 and the second ring-shaped body 5 are respectively provided
with a battery; or the first ring-shaped body 4 and the second
ring-shaped body 5 are respectively equipped with a wireless
charging device, which can obtain the electrical energy through
wireless charging.
[0037] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the
wearable projection equipment can further comprise a touch
detection module which can detect a touch action of a finger on an
object as a projection screen. This touch detection module and the
projection device can cooperate to realize the virtual touch
control on the object as the projection screen.
[0038] As an example, FIG. 5 schematically illustrates a schematic
module diagram of either of ring-shaped bodies. As seen in FIG. 5,
the touch detection module can be connected to the projection
device so as to cooperate to realize the virtual touch control on
the object as the projection screen.
[0039] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the
touch detection module can comprise a laser generator and a laser
detector, wherein the laser generator generates a laser projected
on a surface of the object as the projection screen, and when a
finger or a touch pen performs a pressing-key operation on the
surface of the object as the projection screen having a keyboard
pattern, the laser would form a spot on the finger or the touch
pen, and the laser detector detects the mapping position on the
keyboard pattern corresponding to the spot on the finger or the
touch pen. The laser generator and the laser detector can be
provided on one or two of the first ring-shaped body and the second
ring-shaped body. The laser generator, the laser detector and
either of the projection devices can constitute a virtual keyboard
projecting device, for example, the projection device projects a
keyboard pattern on the palm, the laser generator generates a laser
projected on a surface of the palm, such as visible light or
infrared light, and when a finger or a touch pen performs a
pressing-key operation on the palm having a keyboard pattern, the
laser will form a spot on the finger or the touch pen, and the
laser detector detects the mapping position on the keyboard pattern
corresponding to the spot on the finger or the touch pen, then
which buttons have been pressed will be determined, so as to
realize the virtual keyboard projection. For example, the touch
detection module comprises a laser generator and a laser detector,
wherein the laser generator is configured to generate a laser
projected on a surface of the object as the projection screen, and
the laser detector is configured to determine a touch position of a
finger or a touch pen through a spot formed by the laser on the
finger or the touch pen performing an operation on the projection
screen.
[0040] For example, the wearable projection equipment can further
comprise a wireless module which is electrically connected to the
projection device on the first ring-shaped body and the projection
device on the second ring-shaped body respectively, and the
communication and/or electrical connection of the projection device
with other equipments can be achieved by a wireless technology. For
example, the wireless module can be provided on the first
ring-shaped body, wherein the wireless module is connected to
electrode at the tooth tip of the tooth-shaped structure of the
first ring-shaped body and the projection device on the first
ring-shaped body, the electrode at the tooth root of the
tooth-shaped structure of the second ring-shaped body is connected
to the projection device on the second ring-shaped body, so that
the wireless module is electrically connected to the projection
device on the second ring-shaped body through the two electrodes.
Of course, the wireless module can also be provided on the second
ring-shaped body, similarly the wireless module is electrically
connected to the projection device on the first ring-shaped body
through the electrodes at the tooth-shaped structures. The
projection ring provided with the wireless module can be
communicated with or electrically connected to the projection
device and other equipments through a wireless technology, for
example, the image on the phone screen is output directly onto the
palm and/or the wall. The wireless module can also be electrically
connected to the laser generator and the laser detector, for
example, the output of the image on the phone screen and the key
input are realized on the palm. Of course, the projection device
can be connected to other equipments by means of a wired
connection.
[0041] For example, FIG. 5 schematically illustrates a schematic
module diagram of either of ring-shaped bodies. As can be seen in
FIG. 5, the projection device can be connected to other equipments
through the connection between the wireless module and the
projection device. The wireless module can also be connected to the
touch detection module so as to make the touch detection module
communicated with other modules or equipments, or the like.
[0042] The wearable projection equipment in the present embodiment
is capable of projecting images in different directions by
providing the projection device respectively on the two rotatable
structure bodies, such that application scenarios of the wearable
projection equipment become more extensive, thereby making it more
convenient to use. In addition, by introducing the laser generator
and the laser detector to realize the projection of the virtual
keyboard, the output of image and the key input can be achieved
simultaneously. In addition, the connection with external
equipments is achieved through the wireless module, so as to make
the wearable projection equipment more convenient to use.
[0043] Although the projection ring is described as an example in
the above, however, those skilled in the art will appreciate that
the wearable projection equipment according to embodiments of the
present disclosure is not limited thereto, for example, it can also
be other equipments, such as a projecting bracelet, a projecting
watch, a pair of projecting glasses or the like.
[0044] What are described above is related to the illustrative
embodiments of the disclosure only and not limitative to the scope
of the disclosure; the scopes of the disclosure are defined by the
accompanying claims.
[0045] This disclosure claims the benefit of Chinese patent
application No. 201420212879.1, filed Apr. 28, 2014, the disclosure
of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its
entirety.
